Subject: [Leica] Re: XP2 at 800, now T400CN

I routinely shoot Kodak T400CN at 800 and push it one stop. When I shoot it
at 400/600 I push it 1/2 stop. For normal use I shoot it at ASA 200. The
results are normal as far as shadow and highlight detail are concerned. I
can not find any fault in this film. While not a panacea, it does easily
and qualitatively cover a lot of bases.
